Relation Between Cellular Senescence and Liver Diseases

Publication date: June 2016 Source:Chinese Medical Sciences Journal, Volume 31, Issue 2 Author(s): Guo-wen Li, Xue-feng Yang, Nian Fu, Yan Ou-yang, Kai Qing Cellular senescence refers to a process that cellular proliferation and differentiation modulated by the multiple stimulating factors gradually decline. Aging cells present the irreversible stop of proliferation and differentiation and change in secretory function because the cell cycle of aging cells is steadily blocked at some point. It has have been shown that cellular senescence plays an important role in the occurrence and development of liver diseases. In this paper, we review the advances in relations between cellular senescence and liver diseases.
